Show Notes
Louisianas crawfish industry faces a severe labor shortage due to a cap on seasonal guest worker visas. Plants that typically hire 100-135 workers received zero visas this year, threatening their operations and potentially leading to crawfish being shipped to Mexico for processing. State officials, including Commissioner Mike Strain and Governor Jeff Landry, express frustration with federal agencies and urge congressional intervention.
